[Q] Info about antenna problems / bad signal

I have a question for the lucky ones that could put their hands on this cell... did it have a sim when you tried it? Did you noticed loss of signal when holding it in some ways? I've read something on the net about poor signal on HTC One X and I'm not very happy since I've just paid for my preorder..

"I've read something on the net..." is hardly a valid claim, is it now? Why don't you at least show us where you read this and people can make an informed argument.

I'm sorry,I've read it on an Italian forum and there were no sources of information specified there, so i simply wanted to know if some of you have heard about such problems..

I'm not aware of anyone getting really hands on with the final release product, so I'd take any such grains with a pinch of salt until the real product starts getting out there and tested.

Ah yes this is a problem... I've read about this on... er a Chinese forum... if you wrap both hands tightly round the phone and then pull it in close to your chest while hanging upside down then the signal drops to just one bar... I've cancelled my pre-order as this is unacceptable to me!

Wait, nothing sucks until it is proved to suck ;-) Maybe they were false rumors... maybe they were good rumors but they were about pre-production samples..

How is the GSM/3G reception on the phone?.
Does it suffer from any signal loss due to any death grip?.
I previously had a HTC Incredible S which suffered from Incredible signal loss when i used to type sms in portrait mode while my fingers covered the lower back of the phone.....also lost wifi signals in landscape mode...
Similar issues were also reported in the last flagship HTC sensation..
Is there any issue with this phone's signal strength GSM + Wifi(in landscape) when ur fingers are placed near the top of the phone?
This can be checked from the menu *#*#4636#*#*
Pl. post ur test results so that all can benefit...

RSSI: -79 before covering top of phone in normal way when holding in landscape. While covered went to -86... Not reallyuch of a problem

Signal strength went from -91 dBm 11 ASU uncovered to -89 dbm 12 asu covered as in when holding landscape mode...

Hi guys,
After weeks of waiting, i finally got my HTC One x today.
But there is a problem.
When i put my Sim Card in , I get around 2 Bars of signal, and then it goes away and the cross comes over the bars, then the phone says ' Preparing Sim ... ' , then the 2bars appear again, then they go away and the the phone says ' Preparing Sim ... ' , and on and on and on and on again!
I am extremely sad and dissapointed. was really looking forward to this phone.
Can anyone help with this issue?
P.s. the phone is stock and untouched.

suspect some are leaving the factory with dodgy antenna's!
my telstra sim which usually has full reception is lucky to get 1 bar out of 5 on this phone. This handset will be going back on Tuesday! (after easter)
i know theres a problem with this handset as i can't see any other providers network in the network search!
Signal Strength is -107dBm 3 asu

Does that affect people living on the southern hemisphere? I live in London but I do sleep upside down.

Same reception problem. my old nokia had all 4 bars but HTC one x had only 2 when both are at same place and axis.

i had a htc evo 3d and i had excellent reception and now, with the one x, i only have 2 to 3 bars where i used to have 5 with the evo.. but, besides the number of bars, e never had a problem so far with reception or internet speed. so, i'll check this during the next days

Hi i have just done a test on mine and i am coming up witht e same issues. I had a iPhone 4 and moved to this. I had full signal at work and now only 1 / 0 bars show now.

No, I don't think it has anything to do with antenna. I have the "lost signal problem" as well, actually when my cell is "disconnected", the phone is telling me no SIM inside, and when it suddenly showed me "Preparing SIM...", I got signal again.

I had the same problem with network search not showing any other operators until I entered this code *#*#4636#*#* then changed the "Set preferred network type" from WCDMA Preferred to GSM Only. Now I can see other operators in network search.

Signal problems & update?

Have been loving my One X for almost 2 weeks now but have a bit of a dilemma. Firstly does everyone have a similar signal problem as I'm getting i.e. once or twice a day I completely loose connection to my carrier (t-mobile UK) and sometimes have to reboot in order to regain network? Secondly if this isn't a mass problem do I return my handset or wait for the OTA update to see if this improves? I know there has been quite a bit of discussion on the effects of the bottom left corner giving the phone a so called "death grip" and was wondering if any update would improve this as this would surely be a hardware issue? Anyone's thoughts on this would be greatfully appreciated
TIA LEWY

Same.
I have the same issue (losing signal and having to reboot) around 4 or 5 times a day, on an unlocked One X on Three UK.
This only started happening to my phone after the 1.28 OTA update a couple of days ago. Before that, the signal was rock-solid.
Am going to try a complete reset of my phone and see what happens.

Some for me. H3g (tre) Italy.

My problems were from day one. So thought I would hold out and see if 1.28 made any difference. Since Wednesday after installing the update my signal greatly improved and have not had to reboot once! I cut down my existing sim and thought I may have damaged it, but it's fine now.

Same here (tmobile uk)

I'm on T-mobile UK and have a unlocked phone. Have the same problem although I have not had to reboot to get the signal back. Mine just seems to disappear for a few seconds and then comes back on it's own. I think it has improved slightly with the 1.28 ota. Signal does generally seem a little stronger now.

anyone out there had the update on t mobile UK .my signal is low ,its a bit embarrassing when my wifes galaxy ace on t mobile has got a better signal than my htc one.oh and the battery life is CRAP

Yes, I have. My phone is unbranded. Signal does seem better, gsm that is. Still get drop outs but not so often.

DID you buy it unbranded or did you do it yourself cheers

It was supplied unbranded.
Just noticed that I lose signal when it changes network. T-mobile to orange seems to be pretty smooth but when changing the other way the signal drops out for a while.

Low signal on hox

Today I noticed that the signal on my hox is worse than on my old desire. On places where my desire got constand hsdpa the hox switches constantly from hsdpa to 3g with less signal bars. Anyone else with this problem ?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Same here, I now have to go outside my office to be able to make calls that dont drop. With my SG2 would get full bar in my office, but with HOX only get 2bars

Yup mine seems the same, stumbled upon this thread looking for a solution so hopefully someone who has some success resolving the issue will be able to help.

I'm having this issue too, hopefully when s off has been achieved we will be able to flash different radios it has fixed this issue on all of my previous phones.

My phone also seems to have a somewhat weaker 3G reception than my SGS-2, although they both act in the same way in regards to switching between 3G and H+ all the time. I think this can be corrected partly via software updates since the wifi reception is much stronger on the HOX than any unit I ever had before. It is the same "antenna" the receives both signals isnt it?

Mine seems to get faster 3G speeds than my Gnex and GS2 (unless my network has improved in the past 2 week)
But phone signal is far worse, especially since the 1.28 update... I'm not getting signal now in places where I used to always get signal
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

My data speeds have dramatically decreased after the latest 1.28 update - quite dissapointing! I have no use for better signal if the data is worse lol

Have been lurking on here for a while now and noticed a few threads and comments about reception on the One X
I am in the same boat, was using a Desire S and now a One x and noticed there is a distinct difference in signal level between the two. Not just the signal bars (desire s has 4, One x has 5) but the dBm levels too.
I would say that 80% of those that have had the update and posted about signal have said that it has improved, regardless of carrier they use.
I went into the store where I bought mine from (ThreeUk Retail shop) and they were going to swap it out there and then for me but the handset on display (working demo) had a similar level to mine, so seemed pointless as Im guessing that all/most of the units are like this, it isnt an isolated case.
So, im not sure what to do now. I have just swapped my main number to Three (and its now my only number). Im without coverage far more than I used to be with Voda, or with Three using the Desire S.
Three shop says they have a 28 day policy for faulty handsets, I hope that the update is out before that so I can see for myself.
Brilliant handset though…. screen is lush, using the phone is a pleasure…. just brilliant.
Steve

I am noticing far worse signal on my handset than previous handsets , an awful lot of the time my handset switches between t-mobile and orange , whereas previous handsets were solid t-mobile all day , and also the data speeds are worse. I am not very impressed as the 1.28 update appears to have made this worse, and its an unlocked generic variant in the uk if thats of any help
cheers
james

My signal is loads better.
Before the update I couldn't sit on the sofa and make a call I would get 3bars then nothing.
Now I'm a fairly constant 4 bars sat on the sofa.
I'm on Tesco (so O2) I was going to take the handset back before the update.
Battery seems twice as good on a completely different note.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I have had a similar experience as descb600f. Prior to 1.28 my signal would drop regularly. After 1.28 I am finding it is far better, regularly seeing 3 bars, where before it would continually switch between 0 and 2 bars.
WiFi reception is great, puts my Desire to shame!

So which is it, does 1.28 make signal alot better or not? And what about actual call quality, its one thing getting 3 bars but another if calls are choppy

I do have to agree with the signal/Wifi issues on this device.. I came from a Nexus S (GSM model) and I used to get good HSPA/UMTS signals on that device, I also have a Wifi network setup in my house, it covers most of the house and some of the backyard.. However when out in the backyard the One X seems to drop the connection to the Wifi network, however my old Nexus S still has atleast 2-3 bars of Wifi connectivity and constantly keeps the signal/connection.
Has anyone else had issues like this with Home Wifi networks not getting as great a signal as other devices?
If I hold the One X in one hand and the Nexus S in the other and move away from the Wifi Access Point, the One X drops signal strength a lot quicker and the Nexus S keeps connection/signal a lot further away..
Bit dissapointed with that, and hope it's some how able to be fixed with software/firmware upgrades in the future?
Also I noticed the One X seems to switch between H/3G (HSPA/UMTS etc) quite a lot more than the Nexus S does, same network, holding both in same spot..
Apart from these minor issues and the screen flickering issue I'm more than happy with the One X..

WiFi and 2G/3G are two different chipsets and different antennas.
I have also notices dropsin the last 3 days, including hours with no reception at all
Need to switch from 1.26 to 1.28 soon to try it...

I should say I live in an area with only 2G reception and we sit in a dip partially hidden from the transmitters.
We can only get O2/Voda (orange/TMob if I just want to live upstairs in a corner of the house) and since the update I now have no issues with reception just like I used to.
1.28 has resolved my issues.
On the wifi front
I live in an old stone cottage with timber frame extension (wifi b/g can't make it thru our internal walls in the old part of the house), I have the N wifi router upstairs in the extension and have no issues with losing WiFi either (didn't have issues before 1.28).
Hope this helps people, I realise some may say it has got worse but for me the difference is night and day making the phone completely fine.

I just found an old 3 SIM (from a dongle) and popped it into my desire s and placed both by the window running Network Signal App for 30 minutes.
Both were attached to the same tower and the HOX was getting between -89 and -91 dbm, the Desire a consistent -75dbm.
Just hope that Three shake their touche's and get the update approved ASAP…. im quite a technical guy, but the idea of rooting and doing the update myself gives me the shakes…..
Steve

Is it likely that 1.29 (or 1.30) will make a difference to the signal?

I've been losing signal a lot on 1.28 here in the UK on Vodafone and really don't want to exchange the phone because the hardware is perfect. I tried a new SIM yesterday, but that made no difference and because I don't want to swap out the phone I'm pinning my hopes on the new software. Is that sensible?
Also, I've tried some of the signal boosters available on the market and they don't seem to help. Has anyone had any success in this area?
Thanks in advance...

I don't know the answer to your question but I am on Vodafone and have noticed that the signal jumps between H, G and E loads

I'm on orange and have the same problem which I didn't have with my S2.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

Firstly, Ive recently left Voda due to my then Bold 9900 often showing SOS and when it did show 3g, not been able to make a call, having to revert to GSM to make a call. The later was while standing within several vodafone sites.
Im now on ThreeUK. They have not got a 2g network of their own to fall back on and in most parts the roam onto Orange has been turned off.
Anyway, when I got my first HOX on 1.26 the signal was rubbish. Where I did have coverage before on a Desire S, there was non. Holding the two devices next to each other the HOX was approx 14dmb diffence in the RX levels. This meant where the Desire S had full signal, the HOX had half. Where the Desire S had half, the HOX had non or 1 bar.
After the update to 1.28 (i sent the branded Three handset back and bought a unbranded one) the signal was far far better. I have no updated to 1.29 via the RUU and its still great.
Most people found that the 1.26 to 1.28 (or 1.29) improves the signal, only a few are reporting issues with signal on the later updates.
Steve

Thank you for the response. Trouble is, I'm actually on 1.28 and am getting the poor reception. So I guess it's good to know that a software update can make a difference - I just have to wait for one to arrive...

It all depends if they changed the radio in the software update which as they suggest they improved battery life then it's quite likely that they did. If that is the case then it could be reversed but I doubt they will.do anything unless they have a large volume of issues.

Unbranded HOX here no issues with Vodafone. However at work indoor very poor but that's probably signal indoors is useless but when I get outdoor its fine. Can't wait for S-OFF so we can start testing different radios.

Any update that brings a new radio/base and will likely improve signal I'm not sure if these updates do have those things though.

I'm running Android Revolution 5.2.0 which I think runs on the latest 1.29 base and I'm getting constant signal drops where I work in the UK. Never had it with my Galaxy S before. I haven't ever done an RUU update since original stock firmware. Would flashing a newer RUU help?
Sent from my HTC One X

I've also got this issue, though it would seem It's not everywhere, some places no drop out, others constant dropout. Had my work Iphone 4 (uses vodefone cell) sat next to my hox today and only the hox had issues with signal (although both were low when the hox did have signal). Almost feels like it's only certain cells, or possibly when only in range of one tower? ... Not sure...

Signal Reception issues resolved
I had purchased HOX on 17-May and immediately got 1.28 update. Since then I had signal reception issues. It continued even after getting 1.29 update. After testing my SIM with Galaxy S3 and observing asu/dBm values, it was confirmed that my HOX had the problem. I took it to official HTC Service center and they just reflashed entire 1.29 ROM (not just the update). That seems to have resolved my issues. There are no dropped calls. I am getting signal in all the low signal areas that I know off.

[Q] Signal issues UK

Hi. I am on three network UK and since I had the m8 from new, have had intermittent signal issues. One minute I will have 5 bars then it will drop to one bar while I am still in the same place. This is my second brand new m8 now with the same problem as the first. I also have a moto g on three to compare it to, and the reception on the moto g is far more stable. I can't find any posts from the UK of anyone with the same problem. Anyone else having signal strength problems? It affects signal as a whole as in both calls and data.

Im with 3 and have intermittent signal issues but thats nothing to do with the phone or network provider in my honest opinion.
Are you running a custom rom? Might be a radio issue?

Thanks for reply. I am still on stock at the moment because I didn't want to have to un-root and return to s-on etc. While I wasn't sure what the problem is. If you don't think it has anything to do with the phone or the network provider, what do you think it is? As I say, my moto g signal is far better and stronger. I don't get signal on the m8 where I normally have done on all my previous android phones. Thanks for any more input.

I'm on 3 and also have ****ty signal strength, yet I'm able to make and receive calls without issues.
Tbh I think it's an issue with three.
I was with Vodafone back in the day, and use to have full bars yet intermittently I was unable to make/receive calls.
3 appear to have some Gremlins, but after using almost every other provider, oddly they're consistent.

Thanks for reply. Tbh, I have been trying to not take too much notice of what the signal strength bars are telling me and just trying to use it anyway. But it just seems strange to me that I have only just started seeing this happening since I got the m8. As you say, three have been consistent, and for me, they have been consistently good. I now find the m8 not having data connection and no bars where before, other handsets are fine. Oh well. Thanks for your reply.

Hi. I have sent mine in for "repair" now, but am not holding out much hope that it will be working any better when it gets returned from HTC. I am in Hereford, west midlands.

Got the same, now on a second device thanks to the local thieves;anyway both handset's had the signal bar observation you made in the post.
So I'm guessing it's 3's network.
I'm in South east London.
Data & voice are a bit hit & miss

Thanks for reply. I think what i'll do when I get my device back, is to try a few other networks sim cards and see what happens. Perhaps I should have tried that a bit sooner but as I never had trouble before, it didn't really occur to me that it could be the network not playing nice with the phone. Thanks for all the replies guys.

I've been noticing signal problems too with three. I'm in Northern Ireland. I tweeted them and they said they were aware of a mast issue near where I live.

I had been with 3 UK for about 5 years and a couple of years ago I had a Desire HD and I was experiencing the same exact issues except sometimes the signal would get lost completely and even airplane mode or phone reboot would not register with the network again but since then they have improved the network (a little), I can tell you there is nothing wrong with your phone or the radio. 3 have great deals but their coverage is very patchy I am now with o2 UK and have not had any problems with reception or dropouts. one more thing; a bad simcard can cause reception issues so you might want to try another sim from 3 to see if that helps at all.

I have exactly the same issue however it doesn't seem to effect the usabilty of the phone. I had a Note 3 before which also suffered the same issue so I would assume it is Three.
I think Three are in the midst of a big 4G switch on and from what one of my pals in the store said they are doing a hell of a lot of work on the masts at the moment. I do however have a more consistent signal with the M8 with regards to signal stability (not the bars)
You may want to look at getting an app which measures the actual -db rather than bars. It may be that you are swapping between a couple of masts.
Have a look at Opensignal or this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.signalmonitoring.gsmsignalmonitoring

I have been trying not to take too much notice of the bars and just use it anyway but it still doesn't seem to be working as well in certain places, as my other handsets have previously on three. Oh well. I just took out another 2 year contract with three. I'll see how the network performs over this time and make a decision when the time comes.
